I'm only 3 miles from the Warrington ground and it was bad! what was the conditions like in Wigan then? the St Helens attendance was Poor! however bad it was, but I still feel when you keep putting the announcement back of when a game is on or off then it does put supporters off travelling!

Well I was there and I would say it was an accurate figure. Perhaps the photos you have seen were from before kick-off? Have a look at the background to this one to see a quite busy South Stand and to be fair to Huddersfield fans their numbers were hardly different to how many they normally bring, they were just all grouped together at the back of the West Stand:

Wire v Hudds was a top of the table clash so would have been much more of a draw. The conditions at LP were Baltic to be fair. Mind you 5300 at some grounds would be about 3 times the average.

Tis like that in Warrington though. The town centre can be almost snow free but the outskirts can be really bad. I've seen worse in Warrington and it wasn't as bad as St Helens, not within an hour of kick off anyway.

I travelled to and from Cinnamon Brow (Wireland) to LP on Friday evening so feel qualified to comment on the conditions in the respective places.
Conditions were definitely a lot worse in St Helens. It was snowing quite heavily when I left at 6.40pm, but was not reallly sticking. The snow got gradually heavier and amounts on the ground deeper the nearer you got to St Helens, appreciably so from Burtonwood. Whilst the stadium surrounds were clear, approach roads and footpaths had about 1" of snow, which more than doubled over the course of the game. Return journey was a little dodgy until the Winwick side of Burtonwood, when once again conditions improved markedly.

| There was a time when Saints used to mock Warrington because a) we could never beat you and b) we didn't win trophies. Now you can't mock Warrington for that you're reduced to waving willies about having more snow. I almost wish SC wasn't still banned...

There's still plenty to mock Dire with , like how many times have you won super league? or for that matter when was the last time you were champions full stop? Also there's quite a bit of mileage in some ageist jokes

Yes it did,it just snowed heavier in St Helens.Looking at the highlights of each match doesn't take a genius to work that out.

| It's snowed for about 2 minutes here today. And there were certainly at least 3 more people walking down my road compared to yesterday. Does this come under snow and attendance related views, or should I start a new thread?
